Start-Stop Operation
Enable Start-Stop mode to save fuel or power
Start-Stop reduces fuel or power consumption by automatically shutting down and restarting the unit based on compartment temperature, battery charge condition, and engine coolant temperature (Engine Operation only). The control system may be configured with Start-Stop operation tied to setpoint ranges for either frozen or perishable loads.
With the system powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/RUN position) or in PC mode, press the START-STOP/CONTINUOUS key until "START/STOP" is highlighted.
"START/STOP MODE SELECTED" will display in the MessageCenter for 10 seconds.
The operation indication in the status bar will no longer be highlighted. The unit is now in Start-Stop Operation.
While in Electric Operation, if battery condition is the only reason the unit needs to operate, the compressor will stop but the battery charger will remain energized.
If "START-STOP LOCKED" displays in the MessageCenter when the key is pressed, the Start-Stop/Continuous key is locked out. Refer to Section 5.2.3 for Configuration information.
If the unit fails to start after three start attempts, alarm 00031 Failed to Start - Auto Mode will be activated.
If the unit shuts down three consecutive times without running a minimum of 15 minutes between shutdowns, alarm 00030 Failed to Run Minimum Time will be activated. The shutdown counter is cleared when the unit has run for 15 minutes.
